There are not many things in the world that can seal the mirage, and the mirage beads will automatically swallow the true essence of spiritual power. Only the true water of the four seas and the true fire of Samadhi can restrain it.
The fire in the stone, which was originally sealed in Chen He's dantian, struggled to become active as soon as the owner swallowed the mirage bead, separated a tiny flame to snatch it, and then fell contentedly into the dantian with the mirage bead, and rolled several times. . After playing tired, he kicked it at will, and continued to lie still, but the Mirage Bead as a new toy was properly marked as "belonging to fire in the stone".
The mirage bead wrapped in flames was very peaceful, and Chen He Yungong was allowed to guide it into the Purple Mansion of Shentai.
There are three dantians in the human body, usually the dantian is in the abdomen. For the lower dantian, between the eyebrows is the upper dantian.
The golden elixir is knotted in the lower dantian, and the primordial soul is formed in the chest. When it comes to the stage of spiritual transformation, the primordial spirit is entrenched in the Shentai Zifu. Shi Zhonghuo vaguely felt that the "toy" had been removed, but it was also a place where he would "live" in the future, so he didn't pay much attention.
Chen He used his spiritual power to control the fire in the stone, the mirage was afraid of the fire in the stone, and the subtle restraint made the mirage bead silently levitate like Shi Feng expected, but Chen He felt that his head was swollen, like a plant into the pool.
Some chaotic scenes vaguely emerged.
Before he could see it clearly, the illusion fell into flames and quickly burned to the ground.
The fire in the stone greedily and slowly burned the surface of the mirage bead, leaving a clean bead, and the flames hibernated quietly and contentedly.
So Chen He slept for seven days.
He was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. At the beginning of the new year, every household opened the main entrance to light firecrackers, and the night sky was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.
Chen He suddenly sat up from the bed.
He remembered that Shi Feng came back from the cultivation market and brought back a mirage bead for himself.
Chen He frowned, because this memory started when Shi Feng took out the beads. He even saw his curious and puzzled expression, and also saw Shi Feng frowning and thinking behind him, as if he had made up his mind. What a determination.
A huge panic and ominous premonition flooded my heart.
I hurriedly read the blue jade ball and the paper on the table. Chen He didn't even wear shoes, and hurriedly stepped on the snow on the porch and ran to the house opposite the small courtyard.
"Brother!"
The door was open, and there was no one inside.
Home furnishings are hidden things, there is no trace of sleeping on the bed, and the teapots and cups are brand new and never used. As soon as the people who live there are not in the room, it feels strange and empty.
Chen He stood stiffly at the door.
He suddenly felt the cold wind in Yuzhou in winter, as cold as the water in a black abyss.
—Is it because he said something about his brother’s exercises, or because he found the medicine for his psychosis and thought he could live alone, so he left
Chen He's mind was agitated, and his eyes were dizzy. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.
- No matter how big the world of comprehension is, as long as the strength is sufficient, there is no one who cannot be found!
"Squeak!"
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a maid-like puppet came in holding a large tray with two bowls in it.
Chen Heben's already dim eyes suddenly lit up, he took three steps and took one step, hurried to the puppet, and asked anxiously, "Where's your master?"
The puppet raised his head stiffly and pointed to the door.
Before Chen He could go out to look, he saw Shi Feng brought another person into the yard.
Unable to contain the slight trembling, Chen He spurned himself for being useless, but was ecstatic at the same time: Senior Brother did not leave without saying goodbye!
"Yo, what look is this!"
An exaggerated voice shouted, and he sighed loudly, "Hey, Daoist Shi Feng, you didn't give the little baby anything to eat before going out. Look at the eyes that stick to you, you can't even pull it off if you want to."
Chen He was angry and embarrassed, and finally looked away, wanting to see who came to his and his brother's house on New Year's Eve to make trouble.
A black and gray tao robe, two long snow-white eyebrows, waving very comically.
"Longmei old man?" Chen He was surprised, and almost tiptoed to see if there were a bunch of Heiyuangu old men behind Shi Feng.
Fortunately, there was only a faint smoke of gunfire permeating the firecrackers in the back, and no one was seen.
The old man with long eyebrows stroked his beard, looked at the house, shook his head and said, "Shi Feng, are you planning to take Chen He to live here?"
Shi Feng nodded and waved back the puppet.
He walked up to Chen He, who was obviously not in the right mood. Without waiting for Shi Feng to speak, Chen He hurriedly covered up his abnormality: "Senior brother, I remember what happened before going to bed, that mirage bead really effective!"
The old man with long eyebrows crooked, and he almost lost his footing. He exclaimed in disbelief: "Mirage? Could it be true that the rumor is true, the mansion of Venerable Huanjian was attacked in the middle of the night, the man in red, suspected of blood demon …”
Long eyebrows said something, Chen He's eyes were a little more complicated.
Isn't this candy ball bought at the market
Venerable Huanjian, he remembers it in a small book. Venerable Demon Dao, who expelled Qiankunguan from the Central Plains three hundred years ago, has many subordinates in office, and Yuzhou Junwei is one of them.
Could it be that Venerable Huanjian grabbed the candy ball at the market, and the senior brother was a step behind, so he went to the door to find it, and he started to do it after another disagreement
- Something doesn't sound right about this!
"Are you crazy? Venerable Huanjian came out of a mirage. The Valley Master said that Venerable Huanjian practiced swords for four hundred years in the mirage of the South Sea, and his exercises can trigger demons in your heart. But you still have junior and junior brothers to take care of!" The old man with eyebrows said sadly, and suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice speak.
"I have no demons."
"… "
Chen He finally waited for the old man with long eyebrows to open his mouth, his eyes widened, and the whisk fell off his hands, and then the man stumbled to the ground with a squeak.
"Master, the snow is cold on the ground, I'll let the puppet sweep the floor, you don't have to bother rolling yourself." Chen He bent over with a smile.
"No no—" The old man with long eyebrows grabbed the whisk and cried out, "Fellow Daoist Shi Feng, why are you talking?"
Shi Feng pulled his junior brother who wanted to continue watching the play and sat down at the stone table. He lifted the lids of the two celadon bowls placed on the table in front of the puppet. Immediately, hot air came out, and the thick soup was covered with thin skins. Dumplings, also sprinkled with chopped green onion and diced yellow radish.
The time has passed, and it is the time to eat dumplings in the first month.
Chen He instinctively wanted to touch his stomach, but held back.
"Senior brother, I'm fasting..."
"I know." Shi Feng felt a little emotional.
He originally planned to wait for Chen He to be weak first, and then prepare to form pills. He didn't expect that on the way to Yuzhou three months ago, he happened to meet the refugees.
The tragic sight of the grass roots and bark being stripped away shocked Chen He in a daze.
After that, even when he came to Yuzhou City, there was a place to buy food, and Chen He also started fasting. Cultivators are nourished with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they will not die if they do not eat or drink. There is a severe drought in Yuzhou, and there is no shortage of food in the city, but the price of food is soaring.
In the past three months, Chen He has indeed saved Shi Feng a lot of money.
"It's the first day of the year, it's okay to eat some, senior brother will accompany you to eat."
"Wait, what about the Pindao's share?" Changmei Laodao knew that this was the best plain dumplings, and quickly got up from the ground.
"How can an uninvited guest have a share?"
After Shi Feng finished speaking casually, he picked up the chopsticks on the side of the tray and stuffed them into his junior brother's hand.
"You, the impoverished road came from the Southern Border Sky Cliff from a thousand miles away, found it half dead, and heard a shocking rumor, and was almost shocked to the core, and quickly sent the message to the valley owner, but I couldn't find where you were, if it weren't for two days I heard about the white bones before..."
The voice of the old man with long eyebrows stopped abruptly. He opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, and stared at the culprit angrily - while the poor man was unprepared, is Yuan Gong so special? !
Chen He buried his head in eating dumplings, as if he didn't pay attention.
The old man with long eyebrows speculated that Shi Feng didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, especially Chen He, so he honestly shut his mouth and waved his hand impatiently.
Shi Feng silently watched Chen He chewing the dumplings and eating deliciously, and shook his head—this guy with long eyebrows, the few words that leaked out were enough to arouse the suspicion of his junior and junior brothers.
"Why did you go out of the valley?"
The old man with long eyebrows solved the spell by himself, and answered angrily: "More than three months ago, the rosary you left in the Heiyuan Valley suddenly shattered, and Master Lingguo was anxious to chant Buddha, if not for the sake of friendship over the years. , Pindao will not run this leg."
Shi Feng slammed the chopsticks in his hand.
Changmei was not angry, but Shi Feng knew that when the people in Heiyuan Valley saw the rosary shattered, they mistakenly thought that he was dead outside, so they urgently asked Changmei to come out to find it.
"You didn't delay, went straight out of the valley, and didn't go back afterward." Shi Feng spoke slowly, but he spoke with certainty rather than doubt.
"That's right!" The old man was so angry that his eyebrows were crooked.
Whoever looked for it for three months found that Shi Fengan had found a house in the mortal world to live with his junior and junior brothers, and prepared dumplings for the two to eat together. flat!
"The Taoist priest has been out for so long, and he has not received any other news from Heiyuan Valley?"
"Where can I take care of a poor man—" The old man with long eyebrows paused and suddenly realized.
He came out in a hurry, and when he came out, everyone in Heiyuan Valley was in a hurry. After he left, everyone gathered together and muttered, and suddenly found that the rosary was broken, not necessarily because the master of the tempering instrument died, it may be Shi Fengpo Shut up!
Go out and ask a little more, Yunzhou City is fine, there is no news of fire in stone, and there is no news of Gorefiend. So he calmly returned to Heiyuan Valley and continued to squat. As for Shi Feng, maybe he took his junior brother to the mountains and waters!
What, the old man with long eyebrows is still outside
What about him, if he can't find it, he will come back! If you can find it, if you find that Shi Feng is all right, he will come back!
"Okay, these guys!" The old man with eyebrows got up angrily, his teeth itch with hatred!
Shi Feng picked up a dumpling, tasted it carefully, and said nothing.
Chen He raised his head from the side of the bowl: "What shocking rumors did the Taoist hear on the road just now?"
The old man with long eyebrows glanced at Shi Feng, and when he saw that he did not stop him, he stroked his beard and said solemnly, "Shi Feng, the news that you broke into the residence of Venerable Huanjian seven days ago came out, and there were many different opinions, but that Daxueshan Divine Master actually released The news said that the reason for your dispute is for Beixuan Secret Treasure!"
Chen He conditioned reflex to touch his forehead.
No, the Beixuan Secret Treasure is just a mirage
"Nonsense." Shi Feng looked down at the dumplings with a cold expression.
He didn't say the real Beixuan secret treasure, it was enshrined in front of the blank tablet together with the sacrifices in this small courtyard hall.
The old man with long eyebrows slapped his leg: "Pindao guessed that he was talking nonsense!"
Chen He didn't eat the dumplings either, and said worriedly, "But there are not many people as smart as Taoist priests in the world."
"Haha." The old man laughed, thinking that Shi Feng's junior brother was really well-behaved, as expected of the dumpling he grew up with.
Shi Feng glanced at Changmei and said nothing.
The little black account that the younger brother gave to Changmei, he will not remind Changmei to be old-fashioned.
—There is no tradition in the cultivation world of helping one’s parents but not helping one’s parents. It must be helping one’s relatives.
"However, there seems to be someone who is under the command of Venerable Huanjian to help Liang Qianshan." The old man with eyebrows shook his head, "This matter will soon become a big problem, and then the trouble will be big!"
"I'll deal with it." Shi Feng didn't lift his head, "I'll trouble the Taoist priest to hide and stay here to take care of Chen He."
"what?"
"If I don't stay here often, I will be worried." Shi Feng wiped his face after eating the dumplings.
When the latter first heard Shi Feng say he was going to leave, he immediately stiffened. When he heard that he was not leaving, he might not be staying here for a long time, and he was still unhappy.
"Not often?" Changmei Laodao asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't the Gathering faction falsely accusing me of being a devil? People all over the world actually believe it, why can't I use the devil's way to gain power, and use the body of a cultivator to taste what it's like to be a devil's master?" Shi Feng sneered. , "I want to go against the sky, what can the way of heaven do to me!"
